## Summary

A source-critical early Stoic persona built from 55 Greek carrier units, with every claim kept distinct from later testimony, namesakes, and autobiographical memory.

## Overview

Aristo was active in the third century BCE and probably died around 250 BCE. His attributed books are lost and his positions survive only through later carriers.
